banter question

Post by bidgles13 »

Sorry if this has already been posted, I didn't see it. I was browsing the web the other day and found a mod that speeds up banter interactions. Stupidly, I didn't download it then and now I can't find it. Does anyone know where this mod is or know of any other way to speed up banters.

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Thanks Fable but that mod pack just adds Banters. I want them to happen more frequently.

My apologies--I misread your original request. I know the mod, I've used it (and removed it; it went through everything much too fast), but I can't tell you which of the mods I've run had it. Apparently, it's more of an optional tweak than a mod, and not mentioned in their readmes.

I'm sure one of the mod designers will show up and tell us which ones have it included.

actually

Fable was right on the first time... The Banter Pack has an optional Banter Accelerator componant. I've never tried installing just that part of it, but I'm fairly confident you could.

You might just install the whole thing, though... As Fable mentioned, you run through banters quickly, and this has the effect of running out of them quickly, unless you have a few more added in.

Also, a lot of NPC mods seem to have banter accelerator componants.

Thanks, Stramoski. I knew it was one of the mods I'd added on, but lost track of which. I was hoping the accelerator would perhaps double the frequency of banter, but in fact, it closer to 10x--much too fast for my purposes. Each to their own.

I'd only use the Banter Pack with a small (2-4) person party... That was the only way I didn't find it annoying... A small party was too quiet for me, otherwise...

Of course, I only tried that once... Usually, I want more and more NPC's!
